The audience watch as this love affair unfolds with some awkward moments, memories, dreams and plenty of comedy.

Tickets for the show are £7 each with proceeds donated to local charities.

Among the proposed beneficiaries are The Hope Centre for homeless, Fibromyalgia Support and Riding for Disabled Association all based in Northamptonshire. Performances start at 7.30pm with a matinee at 2.30pm on Saturday and are staged at St Albans Church Hall in Northampton.
